Una aproximación volumétrica a la desagregación espacial de la población combinando cartografía temática y datos LIDAR
2016
La disponibilidad de información sobre la distribución de la población a gran escala, e independiente de las unidades administrativas de recogida de la información, es una necesidad en muchos ámbitos: evaluación de riesgos de terremotos, inundaciones o incendios, integración de estadísticas demográficas con información medioambiental en formatos diversos, diseño de políticas de prestación de servicios públicos o estudios de accesibilidad y movilidad en las grandes ciudades. Por estas razones, la literatura ha explorado numerosos métodos de desagregación de la población, recogida a nivel municipal o de sección censal, en polígonos urbanos procedentes de los sistemas de información de cobertu…
Precision Management of Fruit Trees
2022
The aim of the Special Issue “Precision Management of Fruit Trees” was to collect new insights to support the adoption of advanced, efficient, and sustainable management techniques in the fruit production sector. Indeed, this is an opportunity offered by the technological innovations adopted using new-generation sensors and implemented through precise management operations. This Special Issue contains 11 scientific articles contributing to our knowledge on the precision management of fruit trees, indicating the high activity of this sector and possibly leading to the application of new techniques/protocols to overcome global and rapidly changing environmental issues. Scalisi et al. [1], in …
LiDAR-derived DTM for historical landscape evaluation: the case study of the “Harvesting Memories” project (Castro Valley and Mt. Barraù, Corleone – …
2016
The project “Harvesting Memories” is focused on the analysis of the long-term transformation of the cultural landscape in a rural area of Central-Western Sicily (Castro Valley and Mt. Barraù, Corleone – Palermo). In order to quickly outline the history of the territory with an acceptable precision, our survey aimed at covering and sampling as much surface as possible, according to time and human resources available. To reach this goal, in the research design we opted for qualitative surveys. The choice of the fields to be surveyed was based on GIS analysis — our predictive model took in consideration slope, water sources and presence of points with high visibility in the landscape —, that h…
I Sistemi GIS e la tecnologia LIDAR nella gestione degli elettrodotti AT. Applicazioni nella rete elettrica siciliana.
2013
L’articolo, dopo la descrizione dei sistemi GIS e della tecnologia LIDAR, riporta il calcolo della portata in corrente di alcuni elettrodotti AT all’interno del territorio siciliano, al fine di sfruttare al meglio le linee esistenti e di verificare i franchi elettrici imposti dal DM n. 449 del 1988
High‐resolution 3D forest structure explains ecomorphological trait variation in assemblages of saproxylic beetles
2022
1. Climate, topography and the 3D structure of forests are major drivers affecting local species communities. However, little is known about how the specific functional traits of saproxylic (wood-living) beetles, involved in the recycling of wood, might be affected by those environmental characteristics. 2. Here, we combine ecological and morphological traits available for saproxylic beetles and airborne laser scanning (ALS) data in Bayesian trait-based joint species distribution models to study how traits drive the distributions of more than 230 species in temperate forests of Europe. 3. We found that elevation (as a proxy for temperature and precipitation) and the proportion of conifers p…
. New ground-based lidar enables volcanic CO2 flux measurements
2015
AbstractThere have been substantial advances in the ability to monitor the activity of hazardous volcanoes in recent decades. However, obtaining early warning of eruptions remains challenging, because the patterns and consequences of volcanic unrests are both complex and nonlinear. Measuring volcanic gases has long been a key aspect of volcano monitoring since these mobile fluids should reach the surface long before the magma. There has been considerable progress in methods for remote and in-situ gas sensing, but measuring the flux of volcanic CO2—the most reliable gas precursor to an eruption—has remained a challenge. Here we report on the first direct quantitative measurements of the volc…
Typologie des enclos dans les forêts du Châtillonnais (Côte d'Or)
2014
Alors que de nombreux parcellaires sous forêts sont révélés par le Lidar et le plus souvent attribués à la période gallo-romaine, les parcellaires du Châtillonnais étudiés à travers les habitats par différents moyens ( relevés GPS, indices Lidar et prospections pédestres) donnent des indices d'une occupation plus ancienne. Ces habitats appréhendés par les structures externes en élévation se répartissent en groupes distincts par la forme de l'enclos qui les entourent, la présence ou non d'une construction en pierres. Pour une partie des enclos de forme quadrangulaire, la spécificité du matériel recueilli oriente vers une fonction cultuelle.
Fast tracking of wind speed with a differential absorption LiDAR system: First results of an experimental campaign at Stromboli volcano
2017
Carbon dioxide ( CO 2 ) is considered a precursor gas of volcanic eruptions by volcanologists. Monitoring the anomalous release of this parameter, we can retrieve useful information for the mitigation of volcanic hazards, such as for air traffic security. From a dataset collected during the Stromboli volcano field campaign, an assessment of the wind speed, in both horizontal and vertical paths, performing a fast tracking of this parameter was retrieved. This was determined with a newly designed shot-per-shot differential absorption LiDAR system operated in the near-infrared spectral region due to the simultaneous reconstruction of CO 2 concentrations and wind speeds, using the same sample o…
LiDAR datu izmantošana senā Baltijas ledus ezera krastu identificēšanai
2015
Bakalaura darbā aprakstīta lāzerskenēšanas datu izmantošana un apstrādāšanas metode Baltijas ledus ezera krasta līniju noteikšanai ĢIS vidē, izmantojot 4 datu apstrādes programmas: Bentley Microstation v8i – TerraScan, Surfer 10, Global Mapper 16 un ArcMap 10. Bakalaura darba mērķis ir izmantot LIDAR jēldatus, no kuriem, to apstrādes rezultātā iegūtais reljefa modelis pielietots, lai konstatētu Baltijas ledus ezera krasta līnijas Bgl I, Bgl II un Bgl III stadijas, izdalot Bgl II, Bgl IIIa, Bgl IIIb un Bgl IIIc stadijas. Pētījums ir aktuāls, jo lāzerskenēšanas datu izmantošana mūsdienās ir viena no precīzākajām metodēm reljefa un tā veidošanās pētniecībā. Pētījumā ne tikai izmantoti iegūtie …
Lidar detection of carbon dioxide in volcanic plumes
2015
Volcanic gases give information on magmatic processes. In particular, anomalous releases of carbon dioxide precede volcanic eruptions. Up to now, this gas has been measured in volcanic plumes with conventional measurements that imply the severe risks of local sampling and can last many hours. For these reasons and for the great advantages of laser sensing, the thorough development of volcanic lidar has been undertaken at the Diagnostics and Metrology Laboratory (UTAPRAD-DIM) of the Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development (ENEA). In fact, lidar profiling allows one to scan remotely volcanic plumes in a fast and continuous way, and with high s…
